the only debate Griff understands is the one prefaced with “Mastur”. Waste of time arguing with him as he he refuses to acknoledge any other viewpoint other than his own, and then belittles the person rather than argue coherently. Thats why I will never respond to his comments – ever.

It appears that it is not just rugby players that have a rape culture but bus drivers as well. What a crock of anti-male crap. The woman was a stupid greedy prostitute. If she had paid for a minder this would not have happened. She took money for extras and I say that makes her a prostitute unless you but Bill Clinton’s definition of sex.

As it is well know on this blog you are KEA and Kriss X you have no right to even post here having already recieved enough strikes to be permanently banned .

The tone argument (also tone policing) is a logical fallacy that occurs when an argument is dismissed or accepted on its presentation: typically perceived crassness, hysteria or anger. Tone arguments are generally used by tone trolls (esp. concern trolls) in order to derail or silence opponents lower on the privilege ladder, as a method of positioning oneself as a Very Serious Person.

The fallacy relies on style over substance. It is an ad hominem attack, and thus an informal fallacy.

Talking again to cus in New York again.
Two points arise- one he is a democrat voter (and rich retired) – His friends do not want Trump in the White house as it could interfere with their tradings and dealings – With Clinton there she has no knowledge of business – except the Clinton Foundations, so they believe she will leave them alone to continue same same money making continuously. (Cus has 3 wives ans ex wives to contend with).

Secondly there is mayhem in the political circles because Clinton has already made overtures to her supporters for appointments. As she and Obama are historically toxic, as Obama took her job, many Obama staff will be UTU’d out rapidly and replaced by her appointees. It is well known that many Obama staff have fallen foul of Clinton over the years and she will see that “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”. Her own staff know this as she has brutally sacked a large number of her staff quite openly.
Wall Street are worried that Trump will not chop heads in the same way. He is too smooth a business man for their liking.

I see there have been arrests over the stolen Police gear, so it is going to be interesting to hear how Labour,the left and these low lifes are going to defend their actions as it will be a bit hard to say they were homeless, or it was John Keys fault.In my opinion the law needs to come down hard on these criminals because why would you steal body aurmor if you did not have the thoughts of a bigger crime planned

What would be more interesting would be an explanation for the lousy security at the police station, apparently not alarmed nor monitored.
Poetic justice really in the week after Collins sent them all to every burg.
Well that lasted a week, nothing heard of since.

Perhaps someone should ask the Minister in the house a question. Did the police immediately attend the reported burglary at the police station and what steps have been taken to ensure police stations are safe from burglars?

They are spending millions around the country to keep their customers out of the front office because some might be crims.

Just relecting on a post from earlier in the week, isn’t it ironic when you lot bring up “but the Jewish people are indegenous to Israel”, I mean it’s not like you have ever cared about the rights of indegenous people ever before.

mikenmild

Maori, like most cultures, have fairy stories. Funnily enough, there are people on blogs who deride the use of oral history when they don’t agree with the story it tells, but are happy to cite it if it seems to back their suppositions. Sauce for the goose and all that.

kowtow

The “irony” is the pro Israel commenters are deploying the left’s own tactic ( legitimacy extending from indigenous status) against the left. But in the case of Israel the left won’t extend that legitimacy to the Jew.

Kimbo

Not if Jews are not “indigenous” to Israel. This very Jewish Jew says, ‘not!’. But then as per the old joke, ‘nine Jews, ten opinions’:

…From a Torah perspective, the notion that we Jews have a claim to Eretz Yisrael based upon “indigenous rights” is absurd. We are not “indigenous” to Israel. Indigenous is a nonsense term which race obsessed multiculturalists use. Israel belongs to the Jewish nation, because G-d gave it to us. We conquered the Canaanites, and now it is ours. Our claim to Eretz Yisrael is Divine inheritance. Indigenous claims amount to pseudo-science, which in turn, would grant indigenous rights to practically every other minority group living in Israel today. In fact, this is the intention of many who advocate for such a concept.

Fellow Jews, leave the indigenous argument in the halls of the U.N. where it belongs. G-d gave us the land of Israel and that is enough.

Kimbo

Despite the historic connection, I also don’t think Jews qualify as indigenous to Israel any longer. No matter what other “boxes have to be ticked” (original and long-standing and unbroken connection to the land in question, etc), the term and related concepts surrounding “indigenous” are used in contrast to the nationality, race and cultures of those who undertook European-initiated journeys of discovery some 500 years ago. In most cases those first contacts were eventually followed by conquest and/or colonisation, which especially gathered pace in the 18th and 19th Centuries courtesy of European technical superiority, accelerated by the Industrial Revolution.

The very fact they used the term “discovered” when there were already people there (often described by Europeans with the catch-all phrase “aboriginal”) indicates “indigenous” was originally a Eurocentric idea. Indeed if you read the preamble of the Treaty of Waitangi, the (arguably patronising and paternal) language that governs it reflects the perspective:

HER MAJESTY VICTORIA Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland regarding with Her Royal Favor the Native Chiefs and Tribes of New Zealand and anxious to protect their just Rights and Property and to secure to them the enjoyment of Peace and Good Order has deemed it necessary in consequence of the great number of Her Majesty’s Subjects who have already settled in New Zealand and the rapid extension of Emigration both from Europe and Australia which is still in progress to constitute and appoint a functionary properly authorised to treat with the Aborigines of New Zealand for the recognition of Her Majesty’s Sovereign authority over the whole or any part of those islands

So it is hardly surprising that “indigenous rights”, and the left-wing dialectic methods – originated by Marx applying the philosophy of Hegel – are now a useful tool for radical left academics and activists agitating on behalf of those who “tick the boxes” as “oppressed/marginalised/colonised native peoples”.

However, it wasn’t the radical left wing that originally politicised “idigenous rights”. Instead, it was the break-up of Empires after the Great War and the initial acceptance Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points as the basis for negotiating the peace, which also included:

XII. The Turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees.

…that highlighted the moral necessity of self-governance for “native” people in general, and Arabs in particular. Indeed, even the Balfour Declaration of the year before, issued by a government with far less anti-colonial enthusiasm than Wilson (!) noted:

His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

The huge influx of Jewish settlers to Turkish and then-British administered Palestine during the 20th Century, especially in the period between 1945-48 is, based on their cultural, and, yes, even ethnic origins – Ashkenaz and Sephardi – makes Zionism more an act of Euro-centric neo-colonialism. The concerns to escape the anti-Semitism of the time – the pogroms, the Holocaust – were European. Zionism is a Middle Eastern solution to what was over-whelmingly in the 19th and first half of the 20th Century a European problem. And the current constitutional democracy of Israel is steeped in and filtered through “Western Civilisation” – both Ancient Greece and the Western European Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment.

The modern state of Israel, courtesy of the fact it is now “there” has a right to exist and defend herself, plus also the responsibility to, as much as possible, live at peace with her neighbours. Admittedly that is an impossibility at present, and, as the original Zionists were warned, will probably never happen. Nonetheless, I don’t think the Jewish people are “indigenous” to Israel any longer. They are European neo-econquerors and colonialists,

Germany is blowing up again over migration. The Saxon town of Bautzen has, like dozens of similar places across Germany, a barracks for some of the million or two Middle Eastern migrants who have been streaming across the Mediterranean for the past year-and-a-half.

People in Bautzen aren’t used to foreigners, and now groups of young men have taken to congregating in city’s central square, the Kornmarkt. The migrants say they come there for the free internet. This upsets the locals, 80 of whom waged a pitched battle against 20 teenage migrants on Wednesday evening.

Meanwhile, in the South China Sea where Obongo’s “pivot to Asia” now lies in ruins since the Phillipine President called his mom a whore and now the US only has Thailand left to play its pivot pointman, a Singaporean has a really brainy idea…

The reason for Obama’s visit was to actually sell the pivot once again to Asia in tandem with its “NATO on trade” arm – the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Obama insisted that, “TPP is a core pillar of America’s rebalance to the Asia-Pacific. And the trade and the growth it supports will reinforce America’s security alliances and regional partnerships.”

He added, “failure to move ahead with TPP will not just have economic consequences, but call into question America’s leadership in this vital region…”

…Still, the only discourse emanating from Washington boils down to Pentagon obsession with confrontation in the South China Sea and White House obsession with TPP, the trade arm of the pivot.

Kishore Mahbubani, dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, has been clever enough to propose a way out. What if Washington accepted a Chinese contribution in terms of high-speed rail technology – as a means to jump-start the US economy from the Pacific to the Atlantic. This China-US partnership in infrastructure would be, according to Mahbubani, a “match made in heaven”.

The American Society of Civil Engineers has projected a $1.44 trillion investment funding gap in the US between 2016 and 2025 – generating a huge drag on business, exports and incomes. China would have the financial and institutional capacity to build that much-needed infrastructure. TPP is a dead end. Perhaps Mahbubani should send his proposal to Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is stealing from her poorest supporters by purposefully and repeatedly overcharging them after they make what’s supposed to be a one-time small donation through her official campaign website, multiple sources tell the Observer.

The overcharges are occurring so often that the fraud department at one of the nation’s biggest banks receives up to 100 phone calls a day from Clinton’s small donors asking for refunds for unauthorized charges to their bankcards made by Clinton’s campaign.

he Clinton campaign has been pulling this stunt since Spring of this year. The Hillary for America campaign will overcharge small donors by repeatedly charging small amounts such as $20 to the bankcards of donors who made a one-time donation.

However, the Clinton campaign strategically doesn’t overcharge these donors $100 or more because the bank would then be obligated to investigate the fraud.

“We don’t investigate fraudulent charges unless they are over $100,” the fraud specialist explained. “The Clinton campaign knows this, that’s why we don’t see any charges over the $100 amount, they’ll stop the charges just below $100. We’ll see her campaign overcharge donors by $20, $40 or $60 but never more than $100.” The source, who has worked for Wells Fargo for over 10 years, said that the total amount they refund customers on a daily basis who have been overcharged by Clinton’s campaign “varies” but the bank usually issues refunds that total between $700 and $1,200 per day.

The fraud specialist said that Clinton donors who call in will attempt to resolve the issue with the campaign first but they never get anywhere. “They will call the Clinton campaign to get their refund and the issue never gets resolved. So they call us and we just issue the refund.

The Clinton campaign knows these charges are small potatoes and that we’ll just refund the money back…”

Seriously, who the fuck could possibly be dumb enough to support this scum for POTUS. Who the fuck on the planet is dumb enough not to see who this person really truly actually in fact is?

So, this scum’s campaign does this to its poorest donars, it does it systematically as a matter of policy and it’s calculated at a level not to trigger a fraud investigation. And this is from people who support her. She does this to them.

Why was she invited to sing then? This is part of the problem there’s no push back against the cultural marxists , we consistently fail to stand up for ourselves.
Last night on Prime or 3 , we were treated to a story about Louise Wall applied as a woman to join NZRU board which has no wimmin.Turned down. And then a promise from the NZRU that that will be made good within a year. Quotas. There was an implication that there’s a Maori seat at the board too.All this was presented in the context of the Chiefs debacle.
PC bullshit.

Kimbo

There has been a Maori seat on the board since about 1910 – when the then-NZRFU made overtures to bring Maori rugby “into the tent” rather than be lured off to the then-rapid encroachment of Rugby League. Ned Parata and Ralph Love, outstanding administrators by any measure, were among the most prominent holders of the office over the years.

So I’m not sure if pre-Great War rugby administrators would understand your accusation of “PC bullshit”. Indeed New Zealand rugby administration has often been characterised by a conservative, sometimes even reactionary perspective.

Kimbo

…and here’s the exact time line of the evolution of the Maori seat (which came into being as long ago as 1952!) on the NZR(F)U board, and the overall recognition of the distinct presence of Maori within New Zealand rugby:

1910 – Ned Parata’s request to the NZRU for a team consisting solely of Māori is accepted. New Zealand Māori play their first game against the Rotorua Sub-union on 21 May. They went on to tour Australia

1922 …The Māori Advisory Board of the NZRU is formed by Ned Parata.

1923 – The first internal Māori regional competition is organised and the teams play for the Te Mori Rosebowl.

1927 – The Prince of Wales presents a cup bearing his name in Dunedin. The Prince of Wales Cup is played for by regional Māori teams for the next 66 years.

1934 – Jack Ruru tragically dies while captain of Te Tai Hauauru. The following year his mother gifts a memorial cup to be played for in conjunction with the Prince of Wales Cup and the Te Mori Rosebowl.

1949 – Following the (1949 NZ Maori tour) tour (of Australia), one spectator was so enamoured with the efforts of coach Tom French, he presented a cup in his honour. The cup is still presented to the best Māori player each year.

1952 – Sir Ralph Love becomes the first appointed Māori representative on the NZRU Board, a position he held for 21 years.

Speaking on Rossiya 24 Television the Rusisan Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said: “If earlier we had suspicions that the Nusra Front is protected this way, now, after today’s airstrikes on the Syrian army we come to a really terrifying conclusion for the entire world: the White House is defending IS [Islamic State or Daesh).”

More on Killary’s “integrity…”

Advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign Peter Daou, the lead editor for the liberal media news outlet ShareBlue, previously known as Blue Nation Review, launched a rallying cry on Twitter on Friday for Donald Trump to be interrogated and arrested by the United States Secret Service.

The outlet’s owner David Brock also spearheads the pro-Clinton SuperPAC Correct the Record, the only SuperPAC ever to directly coordinate with a candidate’s campaign which many legal analysts believe openly flouts campaign finance laws and restrictions, which is best known for paying staff to create nonexistent pro-Hillary Twitter accounts and bots to create the false appearance of a vibrant social media support for the former Secretary of State.

The call to arrest and interrogate Trump came in response to statements he made criticizing Hillary’s aversion to the guns and the Second Amendment suggesting that if Clinton believed that guns were unnecessary for protection then why does she surround herself with armed Secret Service officers?

The call to action, which was quickly circulated by a suspicious number of bot accounts, quickly rose to the top of the Twitter trend list at a time when the social media outlet was buzzing about McClatchy News revelations that Hillary Clinton’s right-hand man Sidney Blumenthal originated the “birther” claims that Barack Obama was not born in the United States with the news outlet even dispatching reporters to Kenya in the heart of the 2008 campaign cycle.

Once Daou was able to get the hashtag trending, presumably with the help of his boss David Brock at the Correct the Record SuperPAC, the Clinton camp and mainstream media outlets seized on Trump’s comments saying that he threatened and was alluding to the assassination of Hillary.

“I think her bodyguards should drop all weapons. I think they should disarm – what do you think? Take their guns away, she doesn’t want guns and let’s see what happens to her,” said Trump. ​This quote taken purely as text disregards the candidate’s playful grin and laughter of the audience which did not seem anywhere near incited to violence, but even taken solely as text it is unfathomable that the Secret Service would actually disarm making it unclear where the purported threat to Clinton is.

The thing about Trump is clearly it’s not an act, the establishment really do hate him, possibly because they can’t control him like they can Killary. And that has to be a good thing in a POTUS.

No, it’s not. The area they bombed was one of special significance to the Syrian Army because it represented a long-term hold out against IS. It was a very effective bombing, killing around 80 soldiers, and it threatened the integrity of the stronghold.

Now the US has been conducting air ops in Syria for about three years and not once has it ever helped out the Syrian Army. So the world is supposed to believe that just now, two days before D-day (as it’s referred to in the Geneva agreement) takes effect, they decide to do so, but sadly, they miss and hit the wrong side? You think that’s believable?

General Goes Rogue, Reveals ‘Demoralizing’ Experience He Endured Under Obama

Throughout his presidency, Obama has made his disdain for our military men and women blatantly clear. Whether it’s skipping funerals of high-ranking military officers to play golf, refusing to return a salute, or using our Marines as his his personal umbrella boys, the list of his deliberate insults is quite extensive. But behind closed doors, things were must worse than any of us could’ve ever imagined. A retired officer is speaking out about the deplorable treatment he endured under Obama, now that he is out of the military and free to speak candidly, without fear of retaliation.

U.S. Air Force Gen. Norman Ham was one of the officers on the ground in Benghazi that fateful night, and decided to go rogue and ignore Hillary and Obama’s stand down order to surrender control of the area to Al Qaeda terrorists and leave our men in Benghazi to die. Upon receiving an order he felt was unlawful, General Ham made the unilateral decision on his own to deploy special operations teams to rescue our men, but was immediately arrested by his second in command and relieved of duty. Now that Gen. Ham has retired from the military, he’s coming forward with the demoralizing experience he endured, speaking openly about issues he had serving under Obama as Commander-in-Chief.

General Ham went on to blast Hillary Clinton as a “lifetime politician” who has “has never accomplished a real job in her life,” saying America needs a leader such as Donald Trump with integrity who will provide leadership that our country so desperately needs at this time.

Women are concerned not only about the lack of men, but also about how difficult it can be to find an equal — and they may have a point.

A federal judge gave Barack Hussein Obama some bad news this week when he ruled that states can enact laws to prevent voter fraud by requiring voters to show identification at the polls.

This came after the League of Women Voters and the Obama administration teamed up to try to block voter ID laws in the states of Kansas, Alabama and Georgia. According to Western Journalism, they argued that federal laws do not require ID and therefore these states were putting an extra burden on people who wanted to vote.

Judge Richard J. Leon, however, wasn’t having any of it. He defied Obama by siding with the states in his ruling.

“The organizational plaintiffs and their members will undoubtedly have to expend some additional time and effort to help individuals,” he wrote. “But let’s be candid: doing so pales in comparison to explaining to the average citizen how the [Affordable Care Act] or tax code works!”

Leon added that the laws did not create “real and irreparable harm.”

The states have been fighting to put in place voter ID measures as a way to combat fraud.

“This is a very real problem and the only way to solve the problem is to require proof of citizenship on the front end,” said Kansas’ Secretary of State Kris W. Kobach.

However, Obama and his minions are still claiming that requiring ID is a barrier to voting and plan to appeal the ruling.

“While we are disappointed in today’s decision, we will appeal to protect the critical rights of voters in these three states, especially during this election year,” said Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters.

Not really a bombshell, wiki. And a federal judge’s ruling is not commonly reckoned to be ‘defiance’ of the president.

Watch: Trump Makes Entrance to ‘Do You Hear the People Sing?’ with ‘Les Deplorablés’ Banner

His universal grammar theory shifts ground every time someone shows up its inherent flaws. He just redefines anew what he thinks his theory is.

Hillary Clinton’s Number 1 Donor Just Admitted to Funding Al Qaeda!

Let me just say that I HATE Hillary Clinton. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that there is only ONE thing I hate more than Hillary, and that is her Number 1 Donor who just admitted to Funding Islamic Terror.

You guessed it, the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia just came out publicly and admitted to paying hundreds of millions of dollars to terrorist organizations and then LYING about it to the US.

Off duty policeman shot him dead. If the Islamic terrorists hit NZ we will wish all our police routinely carried pistols and took them home with them, too.

About this lone wolf, the same old story will be put around: mentally deranged, disturbed childhood in wartime Middle East, hasn’t been going to the mosque for some time, family and friends have been worried about him. Bullshit.
